I have worked with Chris on two sales and two purchases because he's a true professional. I first reached out to Chris in 2012 in search of our first home. It took us almost three years (on and off) to find the right property, but Chris was consistently patient, punctual, communicative, and prepared for each tour. He always came with internet connected tablet, allowing him to quickly access and provide us with the information we requested instantly on-site. He never pressured us and always offered advice in our best interest. In addition to being a fantastic realtor, Chris has a background in contracting, which allows him to provide valuable insight into repair and renovation costs. He also has a network of reliable contacts for when we needed work done. We aren't currently looking to buy or sell, but I know Chris will be the first person I call in the future.

Chris helped me sell my condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He made the entire process easy and kept me informed at every step. We ended up with highly competitive buyers and multiple rounds of counters, landing at a sale price higher than I was even aiming for. Thanks for everything, Chris!

My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Christopher Phipps at an open house in 2021 which he was facilitating. My husband and I felt comfortable with him right away because he gave us the honest facts, presented it in a simple and levelheaded manner, which is what we were needing as first time homebuyers. Fast forward 2 1/2 years later when we decided to move to Colorado and sell our home. Chris helped us do that and we sold our home for approximately $30,000 over asking. Chris can't control the market, but I believe he has all the tools to set you up for success. He helped make communication with the buyers smooth, set up realistic expectations and made the process seamless. We have recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Christopher Phipps went above and beyond throughout our entire rental search, leasing, and move-in process. He really helped lead the way through some tricky dynamics, and took the stress off the whole process for us. We are so grateful we partnered with him, and know he will be our absolute go-to in the future!

Your search for a real estate agent is over! I am the type of person that overthinks and overanalyzes everything, but using Chris as my real estate agent is something I am always sure of. Not only does he have extensive market knowledge, he genuinely cared about helping me find the right property. He was patient and reliable, always prepared to tackle any situation. He has helped me to purchase two properties, in addition to utilizing his property management expertise to help me through the process of leasing one of them. I will definitely continue to work with him for all of my real estate needs.
Bryce Mordoff
Chris is a tremendous partner in all thing related to real estate. I have worked with him on multiple transactions over the past 5 years and have a great experience each time. He has now worked with multiple family & friends who all have the same feedback about his quality of work and expertise. What separates Chris from others is his expertise in things like renovations & construction costs which is extremely helpful in buying real estate. He acts as an advisor through each step of the process and is always focused on making sure the client is comfortable along the way. I also truly appreciate how responsive he is. He is extremely accessible, organized, and just on top of everything when you work with him. Highly recommend.
Mark Allen
My wife and I can't recommend Chris Phipps highly enough! From the very first meeting, Chris was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and sincerely invested in helping us find the perfect home.
We had spent months with another realty team, but were unsatisfied and were referred to Chris by a friend. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We looked at countless homes in the So. Orange Country area, and Chris was very patient with our requirements. His expertise in identifying the 'good vs. not-so-good' quality homes was truly impressive.
Chris was always available to answer questions, explain every step, and offer expert advice. His So. OC knowledge was a huge asset, and his negotiation skills helped us secure our new home at the right price.
Whether you're buying or selling, you’ll be in great hands with Chris. We're so grateful for his guidance and hard work, and we couldn't be happier with our new home!

Working with Christopher Phipps was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our first conversation, it was clear that Chris brings deep market knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine passion for helping his clients. He guided me through every step of the home-selling process with patience, clarity, and confidence.
What stood out most was his communication—he was always quick to respond, proactive in sharing updates, and incredibly thorough in addressing any questions I had. Chris and his team made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and even exciting. He negotiated skillfully and helped us close successfully, exceeding my expectations at every turn.
If you’re looking to buy or sell in Orange County or Los Angeles, I can’t recommend Chris enough. He’s someone you can trust and count on—and I’d gladly refer friends and family his way without hesitation. Thank you again, Chris, for everything!
Bahram Mahdavi
Chris has the patience you only heard of in fairytales. He stuck with me FOR SO LONG until I found what I wanted with terms I wanted. He continues to do the same for me as my rental property manager. He is definitely the one to trust.
Navid Nakhjiri
Working with Chris has been nothing short of incredible. Over the course of more than a year—through the ups and downs of finding our new home and selling our previous home, he has been a constant source of support, guidance, and positivity. From day one, Chris treated us not just as clients, but as friends. His professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and genuine care for our needs made all the difference throughout the process.
What truly sets Chris apart is that his support did not end at closing. Even months after we moved into our new home, he has continued to help us—connecting us with trusted contractors, assisting with repairs, and always being just a call away. He has gone above and beyond at every stage, often stepping in to handle things we never expected from a real estate agent.
We are so grateful for his friendship and dedication, and we could not have asked for a better person to guide us through such an important chapter in our lives. Thank you, Chris, for everything!
Mana Sadeghi
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Chris both to sell our home and to buy a new one, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From day one, Chris brought not only deep expertise in real estate, but also genuine kindness and patience that truly set him apart. Chris stuck with us through every step, helping us clarify our needs and guiding us with care. He never rushed us or pushed us toward any decision; instead, he helped us weigh the pros and cons of each home thoughtfully.
Chris knows Orange County like the back of his hand, and his strong local network made everything, from scheduling viewings to inspections and repairs, smoother. He also went above and beyond, connecting us with trusted contractors and making sure we felt confident and supported.
Beyond his professionalism, Chris is simply a great person to be around. His warmth, humor, and calm presence made what could have been a stressful experience into something we actually enjoyed. If you're looking for someone who’s not just an excellent real estate agent but also a truly good human being, we highly recommend him.

Chris is an exceptional realtor with a wealth of experience and deep knowledge of the market. He guided me through the process of buying my first home with incredible patience and professionalism. Chris went above and beyond—answering my questions late into the night and always making himself available when I needed reassurance.
At one point, I got cold feet about an offer, and he never pressured me or tried to sway my decision. Instead, he prioritized my comfort and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. That level of integrity and support is rare. I’ll definitely be working with Chris again when it’s time to purchase my second home

Working with Chris was phenomenal. My husband and I had never sold property before and were completely clueless as to all the work and timing that would go into such an endeavor. Chris was the perfect balance of someone who solicited our preferences/limitations while laying out for us the detailed guidelines that would help us get the best price. Best of all, Chris didn't just tell us what to do; he would show up himself to make final tweaks so that our house was shown off to the best advantage. We couldn't have been more grateful for him in every step of this process. Thank you Chris!
Amy Hallak
Working with Chris on the sale of our last home and purchase of our new home was a fantastic experience from start to finish. He took care of everything - from staging to professional photos and advertising to setting everything up for the open house. After one weekend of open houses, we had multiple offers, and with Chris’ excellent negotiation skills, our home sold well over the listing price. He is extremely organized and has great communication skills which made escrow a breeze.
Chris displayed the same professionalism during the purchase of our new home. We appreciated his keen eye and candor as he pointed out concerns whenever we toured homes. We finally found our dream home and Chris negotiated a lower price for us. We were pressed for time as we needed to close escrow asap to enroll our kids in school. Chris ensured everything was lined up and moved along as planned. It involved careful planning, constant communication and quick execution which enabled a short 15 day escrow.
Chris is extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, has excellent communication skills, and genuinely cares about you. We would recommend Chris to anyone buying or selling their home.
We can’t thank you enough for everything Chris!

We've worked with Chris for several years. We sold our home and bought a new home with him. He's always accessible, makes you his priority, takes time to explain every detail, and is an invaluable resource if you're buying or selling a home. He's also helping guide us in a remodel; and managing a rental property. We'd unequivocally recommend Chris and plan to work with him for many years to come.

Chris has helped me with one sale and two purchases. He is always professional and up front with his communication and is very thorough. He consistently went (several!) extra miles for us. He set up the workmen for several types of repairs we needed as well as visiting our home many times to allow the workers in while we were unable to be there. If there were a medal for Conspicuous Service Above and Beyond the Call of Duty for realtors I am sure Chris would have several! This is a man you can trust to be there for you when you need him.

We were first introduced to Chris about 2 years ago by a very good friend who highly recommended him. From the start we knew that he would be the right agent for us. Chris is very knowledgeable in the real estate field and he has great integrity, he's also very easy to deal with. Being in sales myself for over 30 years, I know how important it is to always practice patience and show sincere interest in your clients needs, while being there for them throughout the entire process and thereafter. Chris accomplished all of that and sold our house in less than a week at over asking price. My wife and I would highly recommend him again and again.

Jeff Takai
Chris has been our agent for the last five years and he has been amazing! He helped us purchase our first home in Irvine and just recently helped us relocate to Laguna Hills. We have worked with so many other agents in the past and Chris is by far the best. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and very hard working! He is also a contractor so he is able to point out things that other agents fail to recognize. We will continue to work with Chris for as long as possible here in Southern California!
Justin Charboneau
Chris is an outstanding realtor. He always goes above and beyond and will do whatever it takes to get the job done and ensure customer satisfaction. Chris was very patient and extremely knowledgeable in answering the many questions I had for him. I had heard many horror stories from others about the home buying process, but Chris made the entire transaction easy and pain free. I am extremely thankful for the top notch service Chris provided me, and he has my highest reccomendation for anyone else looking for a realtor.

We highly recommend Chris Phipps. He is skilled, accomplished and complete in every detail… a true consummate professional!
A friend referred Chris to us. They had trouble selling their high-end home and it sat on the market for a while. When they switched over to Chris, he made it happen.
We had the same experience…with multiple offers to boot!
When we first met Chris, we knew quickly that we had the right guy. He took the time answering our questions, providing objective data on current market conditions and back up comps. Chris made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't. i.e. professional photos, flyers and straight forward staging suggestions.
When we saw our listing online we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing.
It couldn't have been a more pleasant and smooth transaction. We sold in thirty days. Chris was there every step of the way.

Chris has been one of the most trustworthy people I’ve come across to work with. He has integrity in his work, and really looks out for his client. I’ve never felt pressured from him, and he really makes detailed observations about what was important to me to find me the best possible solution. He’s professional, but really treated me like a friend. It’s rare to find people like Chris in this field, and he genuinely deserves your business.

Chris is really a good realtor. When I had very difficult time to deal problems with my lender, he always helped me and tried to find out what does he can do. I highly command him to every buyer. He is super friendly and efficient.
sandra dee43
I met Chris at an open house I was at. I was immediately impressed with him, but had already had someone else in mind to be my realtor. However, he showed up at my home a few days later, looked at my place and said I will get your house sold ASAP for this amount and guarantee you 100 people on your first open house weekend. I was skeptical with that statement, but just about a week later, that indeed happened! We were just wrapping up trying to get our house ready to sell, and Chris came over and actually pitched in and helped us get it done! For me this man was a gift! Our house sold on the first open house which was a couple of days after listing, and it sold for higher than the listing price! I could not be happier with Chris and his partner Effie. "Thanks for a job well done!".
KelvinXu
Chris has been working with me for years, from buyer agent, seller agent to rental property manager. His professionalism and honesty really makes him the only real estate agent I would trust and work with. He's very knowledgeable from both sides (buyer and seller) of the game, plus rental management...anything from property value, location, loan, inspection, investment return, or even handyman works, you can just count on him. If you are still looking for an agent you can trust, just stop right here and pick him. He won't let you down!
Matt Remis
All good.
Jennifer Moritz
Chris has been hands down one of the best real estate professionals I have ever worked with. He helped me sell my house when my previous listing agent was not able to get the job done. He had an uphill battle in a market where homes were not selling fast. He addressed my needs, while providing exceptional marketing skills and knowledge. The photos he had taken of my house were some of the best I have seen. Chris was available almost every time I contacted him and if he was with another client, he would immediately text me. While he is a super busy realtor, he makes you feel like a top priority while hearing your needs as a client. He was exceptional in every aspect. I plan on working with him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to buy or sell. He is a very honest professional. I can't say enough about this person!
user8061345
Chris is a great and honest agent. He was so patient through out the process and truly helped us find a great home. His construction knowledge was extremely helpful because he told us which house to avoid and helped us find the perfect home for our family.
jax5nville
Chris is a great real estate agent, very knowledgable about the entire home buying process. The two things that impressed me most were one, his honesty. He let me know up front the pros and cons of every property and of every deal. And two, that he worked hard for my best interests. I felt that I could trust him, and I would highly recommend him.
bobrenko
I met Chris through a aquaintance when I was trying to buy a house. Out of all of the agents I met he seemed to be the hardest working and also the most sincere person i had talked to. When I decided to sell my house I had Chris lisit it for me because I knew he had a great work ethic. In a tougher market than normal Chris sold my house in a very timely matter. He did this by holding open houses and broker previews. While the house was in escrow he kept me informed as to what was happening which of course took alot of stress off of me. I have since referred him to 2 different friends which ended up with successful results and they think as highly of Chris as I do. If you are looking for a real good guy and a hard worker you would not ever be sorry having Chris as your agent whether selling or buying. Bob Renko

My husband and I purchased a townhouse in Irvine with Chris earlier this year. There are not enough kind words that I can think of to describe my gratitue and everlasting loyalty to Chris as our realtor. I had always had horrible opinions about realtors being dishonest, sneaky and people out to cheat us of our money, but Chris proved me wrong in every aspect. He's the most responsive realtor. If not within 10 minutes, I heard back from him within a couple of hours regarding anythng and everything from contractors to questions regarding the loan. He never led us to believe something that couldn't happen would happen, nor did he make empty promises. He was always real, honest and open with us. Through the chaos of trying to understand loans and the process, he made us feel at ease and calmed us down through the stress of buying our first home. Above all else, he was knowledgeable and was on top of everything. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and I'm only sad to say that we're going to have to wait a couple more years before we buy another home, but I can't wait to work with Chris again. I'm so confident that he would do a great job for everyone that I will send my referrals only to him and no one else. He's made me do a 180 in my opinion of realtors. It's possible to find a great one and his name is Chris Phipps. Thank you Chris.

Chirs was very helpful throughout the entire process. I knew very little about home buying but Chris was able to help explain things to me. My situation was unique because, being a veteran, I wanted to take advantage of my VA benefits. Additionally, the area I wanted to live in combined with my budget made almost all of my choices short sales. Chris was up to the challenge saw the process through.
sarajex
Chris did nothing but work exceptionally hard for me. I've never had a better experience with an agent. He came highly recommended to me and I can see why. Living 3 states away, Chris kept me updated and in the know almost daily and I felt at ease the whole time. I knew he had my mest interests at heart and thats what mattered to me. I appreciated all the hard work, and will recomend to everyone I can. Thanks Chris
